Oversized plain-text tool results now spill to a session-scoped file and return a bounded preview plus the spill path, so a verbose result stays readable via `read` without consuming the next model request in full. - dsh-spill: minimal SpillFiles seam (saveText → session-scoped SpillPath) - dsh-spill-local: private 0700 session dirs, traversal-safe names, exclusive owner-only writes - dsh-spill-policy: tools/post-execute transformer; no-op unless maxInlineBytes is set; skips read; best-effort on save failure (never turns a success into an isError) web_fetch is the showcase — no tool-specific spill code. The coding-agent example loads the stack so its keyless Loader smoke guards the namespace-plugin export shape. Snapshot gap for a transcript-visible web_fetch spill is recorded in the RFC's Consequences (ACP replay is keyless and cannot hit the web).
web/ - web capability family
The web access capability seam: an abstract web interface, search/fetch provider implementations, and the model-facing web tools. All product packages.

The interface lives at web/web/. Unlike bash/fs, the seam spans two capabilities (search and fetch) with potentially multiple providers each: ctx.web is one web-access middle layer with one provider-selection policy, one abort/error vocabulary, and one product-facing "how this harness reaches the web" config surface. Providers register capabilities, not tools; tool-web is the only owner of model-facing names, schemas, prompt guidance, and presentation. A search provider swap does not change how the model asks for a query, and a fetch implementation swap does not change how the model asks for a URL.
See the web capability seam RFC for the design rationale, including why search and fetch are deliberately one seam and why web_fetch's SSRF protection is deferred.
